Recent convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have led to impressive performance but often suffer from poor calibration. They tend to be overconfident, with the model confidence not always reflecting the underlying true ambiguity and hardness. In this paper, we propose angular visual hardness (AVH), a score given by the normalized angular distance between the sample feature embedding and the target classifier to measure sample hardness. We validate this score with an in-depth and extensive scientific study, and observe that CNN models with the highest accuracy also have the best AVH scores. This agrees with an earlier finding that state-of-art models improve on the classification of harder examples. We observe that the training dynamics of AVH is vastly different compared to the training loss. Specifically, AVH quickly reaches a plateau for all samples even though the training loss keeps improving. This suggests the need for designing better loss functions that can target harder examples more effectively. We also find that AVH has a statistically significant correlation with human visual hardness. Finally, we demonstrate the benefit of AVH to a variety of applications such as self-training for domain adaptation and domain generalization.

We propose a novel approach for estimating the difficulty and transferability of supervised classification tasks. Unlike previous work, our approach is solution agnostic and does not require or assume trained models. Instead, we estimate these values
using an information theoretic approach: treating training labels as random variables and exploring their statistics. When transferring from a source to a target task, we consider the conditional entropy between two such variables (i.e., label assignments of the two tasks). We show analytically and empirically that this value is related to the loss of the transferred model. We further show how to use this value to estimate task hardness. We test our claims extensively on three large scale data sets -- CelebA (40 tasks), Animals with Attributes 2 (85 tasks), and Caltech-UCSD Birds 200 (312 tasks) -- together representing 437 classification tasks. We provide results showing that our hardness and transferability estimates are strongly correlated with empirical hardness and transferability. As a case study, we transfer a learned face recognition model to CelebA attribute classification tasks, showing state of the art accuracy for tasks estimated to be highly transferable.
Vision based localization is the problem of inferring the pose of the camera given a single image. One solution to this problem is to learn a deep neural network to infer the pose of a query image after learning on a dataset of images with known pose
s. Another more commonly used approach rely on image retrieval where the query image is compared against the database of images and its pose is inferred with the help of the retrieved images. The latter approach assumes that images taken from the same places consists of the same landmarks and, thus would have similar feature representations. These representation can be learned using full supervision to be robust to different variations in capture conditions like time of the day and weather. In this work, we introduce a framework to enhance the performance of these retrieval based localization methods by taking into account the additional information including GPS coordinates and temporal neighbourhood of the images provided by the acquisition process in addition to the descriptor similarity of pairs of images in the reference or query database which is used traditionally for localization. Our method constructs a graph based on this additional information and use it for robust retrieval by smoothing the feature representation of reference and/or query images. We show that the proposed method is able to significantly improve the localization accuracy on two large scale datasets over the baselines.
Humans intuitively recognize objects physical properties and predict their motion, even when the objects are engaged in complicated interactions. The abilities to perform physical reasoning and to adapt to new environments, while intrinsic to humans,
remain challenging to state-of-the-art computational models. In this work, we present a neural model that simultaneously reasons about physics and makes future predictions based on visual and dynamics priors. The visual prior predicts a particle-based representation of the system from visual observations. An inference module operates on those particles, predicting and refining estimates of particle locations, object states, and physical parameters, subject to the constraints imposed by the dynamics prior, which we refer to as visual grounding. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in environments involving rigid objects, deformable materials, and fluids. Experiments show that our model can infer the physical properties within a few observations, which allows the model to quickly adapt to unseen scenarios and make accurate predictions into the future.
In a real-world setting, visual recognition systems can be brought to make predictions for images belonging to previously unknown class labels. In order to make semantically meaningful predictions for such inputs, we propose a two-step approach that
utilizes information from knowledge graphs. First, a knowledge-graph representation is learned to embed a large set of entities into a semantic space. Second, an image representation is learned to embed images into the same space. Under this setup, we are able to predict structured properties in the form of relationship triples for any open-world image. This is true even when a set of labels has been omitted from the training protocols of both the knowledge graph and image embeddings. Furthermore, we append this learning framework with appropriate smoothness constraints and show how prior knowledge can be incorporated into the model. Both these improvements combined increase performance for visual recognition by a factor of six compared to our baseline. Finally, we propose a new, extended dataset which we use for experiments.
We present an image preprocessing technique capable of improving the performance of few-shot classifiers on abstract visual reasoning tasks. Many visual reasoning tasks with abstract features are easy for humans to learn with few examples but very di
fficult for computer vision approaches with the same number of samples, despite the ability for deep learning models to learn abstract features. Same-different (SD) problems represent a type of visual reasoning task requiring knowledge of pattern repetition within individual images, and modern computer vision approaches have largely faltered on these classification problems, even when provided with vast amounts of training data. We propose a simple method for solving these problems based on the insight that removing peaks from the amplitude spectrum of an image is capable of emphasizing the unique parts of the image. When combined with several classifiers, our method performs well on the SD SVRT tasks with few-shot learning, improving upon the best comparable results on all tasks, with average absolute accuracy increases nearly 40% for some classifiers. In particular, we find that combining Relational Networks with this image preprocessing approach improves their performance from chance-level to over 90% accuracy on several SD tasks.
